Learner Driver Insurance FAQ

(Q) What if my car is already insured with another company?

(A) If the Learner Driver doesn’t own the vehicle then there must be another insurance policy on the car as the learner policy will only cover them when they are driving. The vehicle owner’s policy and their no claims bonus will not be affected.

If the learner driver owns the vehicle then there cannot be any other insurance policies on the car as the learner policy covers the learner driver and the car when not in use.
